Founder, Futurologist & Choice Architect for Visoko Darvo, Founder of This is Bulgaria & Former In-House Futurologist at Volvo Cars
Aric Dromi’s Biography:
Aric Dromi is best known for his bold, provocative, and deeply insightful approach to understanding the future. As a futurologist and strategic thinker, he challenges leaders to rethink the systems, assumptions, and narratives that govern their decision-making. Through his consultancy work, global keynotes, podcast appearances, and TEDx talks—including ‘Love Your iPhone and the iPhone Will Love You Back’ and ‘How to Write a New Story for Bulgaria?‘—Aric encourages audiences to confront the realities of technological acceleration and to shape the future consciously rather than passively adapting to it.
Aric’s career began in 1998 at Ericsson, where he entered as Head of the IT Department before rapidly advancing to Head of Technology & Development. This foundation in cutting-edge technology set the stage for his later roles at Microsoft as Program Manager and Cellcom as Chief Knowledge Officer. His work across these early positions built his deep understanding of infrastructure, innovation, and digital transformation—expertise that would become the cornerstone of his later futurology career.
Across the years, Aric has collaborated with leading global organisations, including Volkswagen, MasterCard, The World Bank, and Siemens. He became widely recognised during his tenure as Volvo’s In-House Futurologist, where he helped guide strategic thinking around mobility, sustainability, and the societal implications of emerging technologies. He later founded Tempus Motu Advisory Services, a consultancy dedicated to helping organisations unlock their full potential through data-driven insights and sustainable transformation. In parallel, he co-founded the Rising Strings Academy, demonstrating his passion for creative expression and interdisciplinary learning.
In 2025, Aric expanded his entrepreneurial footprint by founding THINK MACHINE, RETHINK, This is Bulgaria, and Visoko Darvo—ventures focused on creative strategy, cultural elevation, and choice architecture. These initiatives reflect his broader mission to rethink systems and help individuals and organisations navigate complexity with clarity, purpose, and imagination.
